Nice write-up. 

I just didn’t like the framing/rhetoric of it being a “drug deal” even though I understand the writer was being sarcastic.

The words we use matter.

I agree getting paid in BTC is best. 

But the **people that are paying you** really do know their customers, so that's also something to think about.

This is a great write up. Having experimented with a few different ways to buy btc peer-to-peer, my experiences align with yours.

Often it feels like an all or nothing game. If you aren't gonna only by kyc-free, then you might as well never buy kyc-free (at least this is how my grinchy little mind works).

Last year I succumbed to using kyc'd means for converting to fiat to bitcoin and it seems to be cheaper p2p methods (definitely takes less time).

Probably getting paid in btc is the best, though.
